    §  4605. Reinsurance. (a) All or any part of the pension benefits of a

  such  risks  in  this  state,  as  may be provided for in the by-laws or
  declaration of trust of the retirement system.
    (b) The reinsurance contract may be terminated  by  agreement  between
  the  reinsurer  and  the ceding retirement system or a successor and the
  assets supporting such agreement may be transferred to  such  system  or
  its  successor  in  one sum or over a period of years in accordance with

  transferred over a period of years shall become  an  admitted  asset  of
  such system or its successor.
